In the WiFi, and the guide very professional, but a little rude and without any empathy. She seemed tired. The very cold day did not help much either.

Alison and the driver (George?) did a lovely job providing information, answering questions and navigating the area. Lovely views and taking a ferry and cable ride was quite interesting.

Comfortable bus that transported us around the city to some great landmarks and beautiful views. Ferry takes bus on quick ride across the lake and then cable car to a mountain top to overlook the lake (although fog made viewing hazy). Tour guide did a good job describing the sites and orienting the group to the city. Pickup and drop off points are centrally located to allow walking to shops, restaurants and several Christmas markets (especially the one in HB).
Cool experince
